Is there a problem with using bright lights during the day. I wired my passing lights to be on with brights and wonder if that draws too much current and is hard on the charging circuit. I know it is probably illegal using brights but nice that cars can see you coming.

 

I only use brights and spotlights while whitelining during the day. Otherwise, it's my opinion that my low beam is enough. I changed my H4 headlight bulb to a 90/130 bulb, and my spotlight bulbs to 100 watt landing lights...rewired to activate with brights. It does pull a lot of power when all three are on, so I'm careful about how long I run them.

 

I blaze all my lights during the day, including High Beam, never a problem.
If it concerns you, go LED. I did, but either way, no problem.

 

All my lights are on all the time. Rarely use the brights. Full LEDs on back and LED turns on front. Will be getting LED Headlight and passing Lights soon.

All lights on, all the time for me. LEDs front and rear. Far better to be seen by
the distracted cagers... I ride like they're all trying to kill me.. Have a great riding season.

 

Hey, that's me too.
And if someone thinks my brights may offend other drivers, wait till they get a blast of my Old School Cadillac Horns on my 'King! Get Back!

 

Truck lite Phase 7 on bright all the time.....spots on all the time.......never an issue.......charging system can handle it.......BE SEEN is the answer!!

 

When I run with the lights on; I always run brights during the day often with the spots. Never worried about pulling too much juice or had a problem.

 

Remember. LEDs use a fraction of the current that OEM bulbs draw. I, like others, have LEDs on entire bike. Headlight, running lights, lights on mirrors, tail lights, plasma lights..... I still draw less amps than the original setup.

 

Some good info, probably going LED this year
